When most people think of a road traffic accident they'll think of two or more cars colliding. People might bang their heads but other than a couple of scratches they'll be fine. The cars might not be in such good shape.

Of course, in reality road traffic accidents can be very different. People are much more fragile than cars, and whilst a big metal case can protect you in some cases, in others it is the twisting of the case itself that can cause injuries. It is clear that it's not just cars that get injured.

The results of a car crash can be relatively short term or far reaching. Cuts, bruises, scrapes and even broken bones will heal eventually, but you've still had to deal with the temporary pain of those things. There can be much longer last effects though, especially in the more serious crashes. If a break pedal is twisted and forced up through the floor of the car then permanent leg injury is a real possibility. And if any part of a person's body is crushed by bent metal and then pinned there for hours as they are cut out there may be irreversible damage. Sometimes amputation is the only option, and in these cases the road traffic accident is life changing.

So what are people to do in these circumstances? They may lose out on income from their job through being unable to get to work due to the loss of their car or because they have been left unable to complete their job through their injuries. If anything like this happens then it is the clear responsibility of the person that caused the road traffic accident to provide compensation for the victim.

If a life changing injury has been sustained then the victim is likely going to have to pay additional costs in order to support themselves and be able to continue living the life they are used to. In these cases, compensation is also paid to cover these changes, after all, it's not the victim's fault they now require extra care and facilities.
